Although Trendey is having a dormant (or at least irregular) period – just tuning in every now and then – we’ve had loads of lovely comments and linking and facebook liking lately: Just want to say thank you all muchly! :) Special thanks to Desire to inspire for putting Trendey on the reading guide and to Spanish Etxekodeco for naming Trendey a favourite! Makes Trendey’s heart pump fast & happily. And foremost, thank you all masses for leaving notes in the comments field. It’s so much fun to hear from you. Here’s a beautiful bedroom for you to relax your eyes on. Have a great week!

Trendey has been awfully quiet lately..!  I’m busy saving the world, and if not Henen decides on a sudden comeback, this slow is how it’ll stay a couple more months. To spice up the place a little, here’s some views from my favourite room. Firstly, note that I put my grey skirt on the Ge’-lamp. Made it much nicer…Though I miss wearing my soft skirt. And that’s Grandpa’s well-used stool.
I finally found some gorgeous old birch-bark lamps at a flea market up in the north. Put 2 on the cupboard.

And below you can view our son Cliff (born in 1965 at A.D. Sutton & Sons factory) and also another birch barch lamp; this one is mismatched with a wooden ball lamp stand I painted the same colour as the wall.
The sunny & warm colour scheme makes me happy. What I cherish most is our kilims, they make the room so inviting and homey. I’m a sucker for rugs, the more of them, the better.

Anyone who tells me decorating a room is difficult and they (think they) can’t create an interesting & harmonious whole I say: choose a wallpaper. It does the job, wonderfully. Especially in bedrooms, I think!

My feelings are very warm for typical Stockholm beauties like these. With the wide plank flooring, the tile stove and the generous ceiling height creating such wonderful sense of space. Decorating a home under conditions like these is a sheer delight. Walls kept ‘Stockholm-white’ (like above) or painted, wallpapered…Any style works.  | via estate agencies fastighetsbyrån & susanne persson |
